Watched online, poor print. Pick a different version next time.
The film opens and closes on Jeni Le Gon performing. She dances twice, and only sings the last time. There is no other reason to watch this film. And frankly, the dancing isn't enough reason either. Surprisingly, this film did not appear in the Tap! Appendix. I added it to that IMDb list, though.
Apparently I'm watching enough race films that non-dancing actors are becoming familiar. One of the male leads here was also the male lead in Gang Smashers ('38) with Nina Mae McKinney. His face would actually pass as white; he resembles George Raft a bit.
I don't know what qualifies this film for the Comedy genre.
